Yarn <--> Pegasus?

I've been meaning to bring this up for a couple weeks, now
seems like the time.

I'm playing with the Windows versions of Pegasus with plans
of deploying as a LAN/Internet mail client where I work. I
will also be using Mercury32, David Harris' mail transport
program for 95/NT.

Pegasus seems like a very good overall program, but it
doesn't handle news and it doesn't do true threading (just
a subject sort, which is a poor substitute). So my plan is
to continue to run most of my mail, particularly lists,
into Yarn.

Is anybody working with both? Any tips or utilties for
conversions back and forth?

Frankly, the Yarn side is quite straightforward. Pmail
formats are more complicated, but I am getting some help on
the pmail list.

Pegasus has good MIME handling. I still would rather read
a plain console text screen however when given the option.
